Quick answer

A home EV charger installation on the South Coast typically costs £900–£1,500 fitted. A smart charger like the MyEnergi Zappi can prioritise free solar generation, integrate with cheap overnight tariffs, and is installed in a few hours by our approved engineers.

Electric vehicle ownership is growing rapidly across the UK, and having a home charger means you never need to rely on public charging stations. Home charging is not only more convenient — it's significantly cheaper too.

Smart EV chargers can be configured to prioritise your home's solar generation, charging your vehicle with free, clean energy during the day. When paired with battery storage, the possibilities for savings are even greater.

Our preferred charger, the MyEnergi Zappi, offers multiple charging modes including Eco and Eco+ modes that prioritise solar energy. It integrates seamlessly with smart tariffs like Octopus, allowing you to charge at the cheapest overnight rates automatically.

We handle everything from site assessment and location selection to electrical safety checks, professional mounting, wiring, testing, and a full demonstration of your new charger.

FAQ

Common Questions

Can I charge my EV from solar panels?
Yes. Smart chargers like the MyEnergi Zappi have Eco and Eco+ modes that prioritise your solar generation for charging. This means you can charge your vehicle with free, clean energy during the day.
How fast will a home charger charge my car?
A typical 7kW home charger can fully charge most EVs overnight (8–12 hours from empty). For daily top-ups (20–40 miles of range), you typically need just 1–2 hours of charging.
Do I need to upgrade my electrical supply?
In most cases, no. We assess your existing electrical capacity during the site survey. If any upgrades are needed to your consumer unit or supply, we handle this as part of the installation.
Can I use smart tariffs with an EV charger?
Yes. Smart chargers integrate with tariffs like Octopus Go or Intelligent Octopus, automatically charging during the cheapest overnight hours (typically 23:30–05:30) at rates as low as 7p/kWh.
